She also went on a mission trip to London with Grace Church to help distribute Bibles.

After graduation, she moved to Houston, Texas, where she attended Texas Southern University and later began her career with the United States Postal Service. She worked there for 36½ years before retiring. She began her path as an entrepreneur, starting her own business called Pillow EZ, where she patented and sold her products at Walmart. She later went on to work at Home Depot in Austin and Houston, Texas for more than 10 years.

Peggy was a loving and caring mother, grandmother (“Grand P”), sister, aunt, and friend to all who knew her. She was always willing to be there for everyone, lending a helping hand and giving advice whenever it was needed.  She was known for her kindness, humility, and the warm smile she always carried. She was very dedicated and sacrificed her life for her children, grandchildren, and family, surrounding them with love and always being there for them.  She especially enjoyed watching them play sports, dance, cheer, and attending their graduations. She was incredibly proud of them all and deeply grateful for the love of her family.
